Geeze, can anything else can more depressing, skating to "Funeral for a Friend" by Elton John all in black. Seriously, what a bad choice of music, ugh. And too bad about Alexander Aiken's opening popped 3A attempt. This is just not my cup of tea so not paying attention, sorry.

Well I for one am glad that it's back to the status quo, especially for so early in the morning, there should only be one color commentator (too much is too much like Scott & Sandra Bezic last night on NBC). But I give credit to Johnny's first time on air commentating with Tonia, by the end of the night I was loving it and seriously see Johnny taking over where Mr. Dick Button left off (ah, a whole generation gone with the departure of Mr. Button, it was great while it lasted!).

I like Daniel Raad. He's kind of fascinating to watch. He doesn't at all move like a figure skater. It's like watching a movie with a construction worker who tried to skate on a dare and discovered he had a talent for it.

I thought I remembered only two spots, and I'm sure they'll say it/have said it a million times in the broadcast, but alas, my kids & husband trashed the house this week while I was watching skating constantly and I've been trying to clean between skaters!
